YOGYAKARTA Calculating the cost of building a house per meter is important so that it does not experience over budget and the construction process can run well.

A mature budget plan (RAB) also needs to be prepared, because it requires a lot of funds. By making careful and realistic planning, development will run smoothly as expected.

Compiled from various sources, the cost of building a house per meter is influenced by many factors, including:

Land area is the main factor that affects the cost of building a house. If you want to build type 36 houses, then you need 60 or 72 square meters of land.

The type 36 house itself has a building area of 36 square meters, with dimensions of 6 x 6 meters or 9 x 4 meters.

If the price of land per square meter is assumed to be IDR 2,000,000, then the cost that you have to prepare to buy land is IDR 2,000,000 x 60 = IDR 120,000,000 or IDR 2,000,000 x 72 = IDR 144,000,000

Next, the cost of building a house per meter is also influenced by construction materials. Construction materials include various things, ranging from sand, bricks, cement, tiles, ceramics, and so on.

If you don't really understand what material is needed, you can communicate it with the head of the worker in more detail.

Furthermore, if you choose a full wholesale system at a price of IDR 3-5 million per square meter, then the cost that you have to prepare for the construction of the house is IDR 3,000,000 x 36 = IDR 108,000,000 or IDR 5,000,000 x 36 = IDR 180,000,000.

Thus, the total cost to buy land and buildings with a full wholesale system for type 36 is around Rp. 120,000,000 + Rp. 108,000,000 = Rp. 228,000,000 or Rp. 120,000,000 + 180,000,000 = Rp. 300,000 for a land area of 60 square meters.

Meanwhile, if your land area is 72 square meters, then the required cost to build a house is IDR 144,000,000 + IDR 108,000,000 = IDR 252,000,000 or IDR 144,000,000 + IDR 180,000,000 = IDR 324,000,000.

In the world of construction, there are three types of labor payments that you can choose from, namely daily systems, full service borongan, and wholesale.

The costs for the daily payment system range from Rp. 100,000 to Rp. 150,000 per day.

Meanwhile, the cost for wholesale services is generally around Rp600 to Rp800 thousand per square meter.

As for the full cost of the wholesale, you must provide a larger budget, which is around Rp. 3-5 million per square meter.

Finally, you need to prepare an unexpected fee or other costs, which is 15 percent of the total cost of building a house. It would be better if you allocated a larger fee.
